A Valentine Diorama To Give To Your Sweetheart

A Valentine Diorama would make a beautiful gift to give to your sweetheart with its romantic scenery inside. A sea captain is giving his sweetheart some flowers before he leaves for foreign shores. They are standing on one of two bridges in town with two swans swimming under the bridge.  His schooner can be seen in the background waiting for him to sail the seas. 

The scenery is identical to the previous posting. Photo for size comparison. https://papercraftetc.blogspot.com/2021/01/a-valentine-slice-form-sphere-that.html

This Diorama is put together with eight tabs which slide into the side of the slices. 

A Side View

I  used Neenah brand 65 lb Champagne Pearl metallic cardstock from Office Depot, a sheet of American Craft  paper from a paper pad named Lucky Us from Tuesday Morning. I recommend using a new blade and overcut to cut out this design as the intricate pieces might not cut out correctly.   I do not recommend a brand new mat because the reeds by the swan will stick to the mat (I had to glue them on after cutting). 

Here is the PDF.

Here is the .Studio file.

Here is the SVG.


Pretty paper is glued on top of the first slice and a circular mat is glued on top of the pretty paper.  Two tabs are glued together to make a sturdy tab that will not warp when inserted into the slices. The eight tabs are then slid into the sides of the diorama. 



Happy Valentine's Day!

    1. If I made a round frame, how would the diorama stand up? It would have to be flat on the bottom or have another base.

    2. You could make 2 of the of the tabs a bit longer and put these on the bottom so they can double as stands.

    3. I really don't like the way that the base looks. I made a similar base here. https://papercraftetc.blogspot.com/2013/11/peace-dove-ornament.html I will take your idea for consideration in another project. Right now, I am working on some STEM projects.

  4. Can you possibly email me!? The SVG only brings up 1 Cut and when I tried to covert the PDF to an SVG file it was too big for Cricut to upload. I don't operate studio files infodbjvinyl@gmail.com THANK YOU
